So ClearBy R. V. ProoyenThis is good, really good. I enjoyed it with great interest and pleasure. Try it; you won't have to wade through alternating pages of Devanagari.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Stained glass in stoneBy Rick CrawfordWestern minds understand the usage of stained glass in the western churches. Pattananaik makes very clear the symbolism inherent in the ancient stone and bronzes of Bharata. This review is worlds away from conveying what a sincere reader might realize from his culture. Beautifully done!!! I look forward to reading more of his work.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. EnlighteningBy ManishAs with all the other books of Mt Pattanaik, you learn so much about the philosophy of Hinduism. The book goes through various avataras of Vishnu and also what Vishnu signifies and how he differs from Shiva.I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to understand Hinduism philosophically. Many things in Hinduism which are ritualistic and lack sense actually make alot of sense after reading Devdutt Pattanaik's books. It is significant that the stories of Vishnu rose to prominence after the rise of Buddhism. Prior to that, Hinduism was the religion of the elite-based complex rituals known as yagna and esoteric speculations captured in texts known as the Aranyakas and the Upanishads. These seemed very distant to the common man who focused on fertility rituals, worship of plants and animals and nature. To help readers unravel the secrets of Vishnu, the chapters have been arranged as below: The first chapter focuses on how gender is used to explain fundamental metaphysical concepts integral to Hinduism. The second chapter discusses the difference between man and animal. The third and fourth chapters focus on the Devas and the Asuras, both of whom are unhappy, as one struggles with insecurity and the other with Ambition.
